"One month down and it's in sight oh, I'm guaranteed to lose my mind. It's dangerous to speak and sigh, you might know what I'm trying to hide.."

Song: Resolution 

Artist: Matt Corby (if you haven't listen to it it's beautiful)

Selena

"It's too long" He groans as he runs his hand through his hair.

"But you like it." I chuckle. 

"Yes. So i put up with it." He smiles. I watch as he grabs a ponytail off his wrist, he combs his hair back with his fingers, he pulls his hair up and ties it in a bun. 

"Cute." I giggle. 

"Like you." He winks making me laugh a bit. 

We continue walking pass the stores. Entering some and coming out with nothing or entering some and coming out with tons. He's only offered to pay twice, i just glared at him and he held his hands up in surrender shaking his head. We were currently in the last store i wanted to check out but i can't find what i'm looking for. 

"Perfect." I mutter to myself.

"What is it?" He asks.

"They don't have what i'm looking for." I answer simply. 

"Is there anything else you wanted? Maybe something similar?" He asks. 

"No it's fine. What about you did you want to stop by anywhere?" I ask as we exit the store. 

He grabs the bags from my hand and holds them for me. "No love i'm fine." He answers. "Do you want to come back to my place?" He asks. 

"Are you sure you want me there?" I chuckle. 

"Yes why wouldn't i?" He asks.

"Because we've seen each other a lot since we've started hanging out." I laugh. 

"Do you not want to spend time with me?" He frowns. 

"No it's not that, i just don't want to annoy you." I shrug.

"You couldn't ever annoy me." He chuckles. As we get to his car he unlocks it, settling my bags in the back seat. As i get in the passenger seat he gets in the drivers seat. He starts the car and pulls out onto the road. Taking my hand in his he intertwines our fingers and rests them on the center console. Most girls would be happy about this, but i'm just getting more and more confused. "I um, i wanted to ask you something." He says. 

"Go for it." I answer. 

"You know how my father came by to let me know about a party for my sister?" He asks. 

"Yeah," I answer.

"Well it's family thing and i don't really wanna go to begin with. So.. would you come with me?" He asks. 

"To that party?" I ask for reassurance. 

"Yes Selena." He chuckles.

"But your family is gonna be there.." I mutter.

"I know, i want you to meet my sister, and my mum." He answers. 

"Really?" I ask a bit in shock. 

"Why is that so hard for you to believe?" He frowns.

"Because that's a big deal sort of. And we're not dating so wh-"

"Don't say that." He interrupts.

"Don't say what?" I ask.

"That we aren't dating." He answers. 

What? "But.. Harry we aren't." I mumble. 

"Bloody hell Selena i'm trying for you i already told you!" He snaps. I flinch slightly at the way his voice had raised. "It's not easy for me okay? I'm not use to the romantic bullshit. I don't know how to commit and here i am trying and you throw it in my face that you don't have that fucking title of being my girlfriend." He adds, pulling his hand from mine and resting it on his lap. 

I move my hand from the center console and bring it to my lap. "That's not what i was trying to do." I mumble. 

"Than what were you trying to get at Selena?" He asks through a clenched jaw. 

"Why introduce me to your family if you aren't sure about me? That's a waste of time. Not just yours, not just mine but every ones time." I answer quietly. 

"See this is what i'm talking about. You aren't a waste of time. Why can't you just agree to come and make it simple? Why do we need to go through this fucking conversation?" He snaps. 

Sighing i don't know how to respond. I don't know what to say to that, i mean what am i supposed to say to that? Those weren't my intentions. I just see it as, if he doesn't date, he hasn't brought a girl home and if you bring a girl home after a long time then your family is going to think you're dating. Right? I'm sure that's what my parents would think if i told them about him. 

"Can you take me home?" I ask after minuets of silence. 

"What?" He asks. 

"I asked if you co-"

"I heard but i'm already a block from my flat." He interrupts, annoyance in his tone. 

"I don't want to go to yours." I mumble. 

"Well i'm not fucking turning around to drop you off at home. I'll have Nick take you. I'm not going to waste my time on you just to drive all the way back." He huffs. 

And just moments ago he said i wasn't a waste of time. Okay. 

Parking the car he gets out. I get out and grab my purse. "Nick, take Miss Carter home. Harry orders. 

"Yes Mr.Styles." Nick nods. "Are you ready Miss Carter?" He asks me. 

"Um yeah just a moment." I nod. I open the back door and grab my bags out. After closing his door i walk over towards Nick. Taking a glance back at Harry i see him typing on his phone walking into the building. I frown slightly but shake the feelings off. Nick opens the back door for me, i thank him and sit inside. I wait as he appears in the drivers seat. 

The moment Nick pulls out and starts driving on the road my phone goes off. I search through it in my purse, knowing Chris is probably asking me questions on why it's almost five and i'm not home. Grabbing my phone i see Harry's name on the screen. 

Harry Styles: I'm sorry. 

"So, don't you worry, you'll be my resolution. Characters of no illusion..."

Way to fuck shit up Harold.
